Thin section bearings have high precision, are very quiet and have
high load carrying capacity . These ball bearings are available in
three different designs and have an extremely small, predominantly
square cross-section. Within each series, the cross-section remains
constant even for larger shaft diameters and housing bores.

The bearings are therefore also described as Constant Section (CS).
This special feature distinguishes thin section bearings from
conventional bearings as standardised in ISO series.

It is therefore possible to select a larger cross-section and thus
use a bearing with

higher load carrying capacity without the need to change the shaft
diameter as well.

Thin section bearings allow designs to be achieved that are
extremely light and require little space.

Thin section bearings are available as deep groove ball bearings
(C), four point contact

bearings (X) and angular contact ball bearings (E). Each of these
designs is available in
